As the 121 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the gripping blade 121a positioned at the lower end grips one of the coins filled in the coin pocket 122 in an upright position and transfers it to the upper end position of the rotating body 121. At this time, the rotational drive of the rotating body 121 is made by the drive motor 123 provided in the adjacent position, the drive motor 123 is the drive pulley 121b of the rotating body 121 by the belt 124 and Connected.

The guide plate 125 extends from the position of the upper end of the rotating body 121 to the position where the coin storage 135 was installed. The guide plate 125 receives a coin conveyed to the position of the upper end of the rotor 121 by the rotor 121, and moves the coin downward in a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal direction so as to roll down by gravity with the coin standing. inclined at α). On the other hand, at the lower end of one surface of the guide plate 125, a step 126 supporting the side surface of the coin in the standing state is formed along the conveying direction of the coin, that is, the longitudinal direction of the guide plate 125. Accordingly, the "coin transfer path" in which the coins put in this embodiment are sequentially transferred one by one is provided by one surface of the guide plate 125 and the upper surface of the step 126. Meanwhile, the guide plate 125 having the stepped portion 126 is disposed to be inclined at a predetermined angle (β, see FIG. 5) with respect to the vertical direction, which means that the coin is not separated from the guide plate 125 and the guide plate 125 is disposed.
